Particles in the atmosphere, known as aerosols, cool the climate by acting as cloud condensation nuclei. The more cloud ...

Overall, we estimate that the effect of aerosols on clouds has offset around a quarter of the anthropogenic greenhouse effect,” says the meteorologist. However, this cooling diminishes as air quality ...

A rare deep-field Antarctic flight campaign has uncovered unexpected aerosol concentrations over the continent’s interior.

Antarctica plays a crucial role in Earth's climate system by reflecting solar radiation back into space. The large white ice surfaces and clouds play a decisive role in this process. However, how ...

Atmospheric aerosols influence climate forcing, air quality, visibility, and human health, but their properties vary widely across space and time. Satellite instruments equipped with multi-angle and ...

CHENNAI: Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT-M) has partnered with Finnish Meteorological Institute to establish ‘VAYYU’- Virtual Research Centre on Aero ...

IIT Madras and the Finnish Meteorological Institute launch VAYYU, a virtual lab to study aerosols' impact on regional climate.

The Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT-M) is partnership with Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) to create a knowledge hub ‘VAYYU’--the Virtual Research Centre (VRC) on Aerosol–Meteorology ...

What if gravity, the force that holds your feet to the ground and binds galaxies together, is much more than a fundamental law of nature? What if it’s actually the smoking-gun clue that suggests ...
